This invention has for its object the production of a liquid mass which can be put on wooden pins in a similar manner that themass for -Bengal lights is applied, so that matches are obtained by the burning of which so-called' star firework is produced, which was hitherto made by pulverulent preparations that had to be inclosed in tubular receptacles.

The mass is composed, essentially, as follows: Twelve parts of steel chips are put into a solution of stearine and benzine. After the liquid has been shaken 01f the dry chips remain covered with a thin layer of stearine, which protects them from rust. Ninety-six Patent No. 475,897," dated ma 31, 1892.
